- Notes
- The directory shows the newspaper publication date as 28 May 1891 (no announcement of the marriage could be found in that edition). However, this VITA entry uses the announcement found in the 21 May 1891 edition of the same paper. This makes the announcement 2 days earlier than the actual marriage date of 23 May 1891, as can be found on the marriage register (see AncestryLibrary.ca) The newspaper announcement also says that the wedding was held on a Tuesday, which would suggest the wedding date of 19 May 1891.
Also, the groom's middle name does not appear in this newspaper announcement. - Date of Publication
